[Cinci-nfb] Voice over

[Christopher Sabine, ONH Consulting]

Deborah. Sounds good. I'm really not a fan of Alex myself
As I downloaded him when IOS 8 came out last year. I think he sounds
manic--or at least like he took a hit of something <lol>.

Rachel and all, I just downloaded Alex a week or two ago, largely because so
many people said it was such a great voice. I'm thinking I will change back
to samantha. However, I use the mail voice for Siri, and prefer it, as I
like the idea of telling a mail what to do.
